The correct answer is option a, that is, sedimentary rock.

There are three main kinds of rock on Earth: igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary.

The sedimentary rock envelopes about three-quarters of the land on the surface of the Earth. However, sedimentary rock forms only about 5 percent of the top 16 kilometers of the crust of the Earth. The other 95 percent comprises of metamorphic and igneous rocks.

Sedimentary rock is malleable of the three kinds of rock. Thus, it is the quickest to erode.

olganol [36]

Answer:

A. If the aerobic pathway—cellular respiration—cannot meet the energy demand, then the anaerobic pathway—lactic acid fermentation—starts up, resulting in lactic acid buildup and "oxygen debt."

C. After about 90 seconds of intense exercise, the muscles become depleted of oxygen, and anaerobic respiration can no longer function to produce ATP, resulting in "oxygen debt."

Explanation:

There are two sources of carbohydrates in the human's body for energy (ATP) production. 1) Creatine phosphate and 2) Glycogen. Creatine phosphate metabolizes easily and yields ATP quickly. Whereas glycogen is stored form of carbohydrate which yields energy more slowly. Therefore, initially, our bodies use creatine phosphate and then shift to glycogen. Within 60-90 seconds, the creatinine phosphate in the body is mostly utilized and then energy is produced by the use of glycogen in aerobic pathway. During areobic pathway, oxygen supply is sufficient and per cycle, it produces 32 molecules of ATP. However, when oxygen supply is limited or absent, the body will metabolize glycogen to lactic acid via fermentation and produce only 2 molecules of ATP.

Now consider the example: Kenny hikes all day at a steady pace therefore the supply of oxygen is sufficient for aerobic cellular respiration for ATP production. In this scenario, the oxygen debt is minimal and Kenny relies on aerobic respiration pathway to obtain energy. On the other hand, Janelle runs fast (100 meters in 13.5 seconds) and her cellular respiration would be on the compense of aerobic pathway initially which will be shifted to anaerobic pathway after the supply of oxygen is reduced/minimum. Janelle will heavily rely on the anaerobic pathway because running fast needs energy which cannot be provided via aerobic pathway easily. Therefore, Janelle's body will produce lactic acid and suffer from oxygen debt.

Oliga [24]

The reason why a dichotomous key to identify organism is valuable, is because it helps you classify organisms,it helps you identify eco -systems, it helps you analyze an organism's traits.

Explanation:

A dichotomous key is a skill that has been brought about by scientists, to help people to identify and classify organisms.

In Dichotomous key, the main way of identifying an object is by it scientific name.This is because, though two objects might look similar to each other but they might belong to a whole different species.

So, it is is easier to identify the organism from its scientific name, as it will tell us which species it belongs to.

This key is very useful to people who are novice, and don't know much about identifying an organism.

This key also helps identifying, whether an organism belongs to a particular closely related group of organisms or is a separate organism.

It helps one analyze the traits of an organism, and based on their characteristics, it will help you identify and classify the species of the object or organism.

Minerals have an ordered internal atomic arrangement. what does this mean?
vladimir1956 [14]
<span>Minerals have an ordered internal atomic arrangement which means that the atoms which make up the mineral are arranged in an ordered geometric pattern or also known as the crystal structure. Thus, it can be concluded that all minerals are crystals. The crystal structure is the same for the same type of mineral. For example, every piece of quartz found anywhere have the same crystalline structure.  </span>
